Stacey Kade

At 16, Ariane Tucker has been careful to elude those seeking her since her escape from a genetics lab 10 years earlier, but the attention of classmate Zane, both frightening and intoxicating, tempts her to risk violating at least one of her adoptive father's five simple rules.

Project Paper Doll: The Rules

After being on the run, Ariane Tucker finds herself back where she started-under Dr. Jacobs's cruel control. Now she must participate in the upcoming trials: a deadly competition pitting her against other alien hybrids, each representing a rival corporation. But Ariane is no one's weapon, and she is prepared to die if it means taking down those involved in Project Paper Doll. They destroyed all that she holds dear, including Zane Bradshaw, the one person she trusted and cared for the most. The person she was forced to leave behind, bleeding and alone. As her plan takes shape, Ariane will need now more than ever to depend on the other side of her heritage-the cold, calculating instincts born from her alien DNA. With Zane gone, she has nothing left to lose. Heart-pounding action and thrilling twists will lead Ariane down a dangerous path, where shocking truths and the chance for revenge await.

I love Stacey Kade's writing. Simple as that! Back in my high school years, Ghost and the Goth was my go to read and it helped me through some very tough times. As I have gotten older and have more money to spend (Yay Adulthood!), I have been on the lookout for more Stacey Kade books to read, enjoy, and eventually review so I can share all of the love. 

Unfortunately, I was only able to find book three in the Project Paper Doll series locally. It's been sitting on my shelf for literally five years and I finally decided that I was just going to pick it up and hope for the best. That was a bit of a mistake because I was very lost (although Stacey does a great job of filling in as many details as possible), but regardless... this book is good! I really need to get my hands on the first two books in this series so I can re-read this book in the way it was meant to be - as a series.

Ariane Tucker is an alien hybrid who is apart of a wicked experiment. The corporation that created her has her as apart of a trial, showing off their abilities. She's designed to be a potential weapon of mass destruction, but she truly isn't one. She's a girl who misses her dear friend (cough cough... something more?... cough cough) Zane and is just trying to cope with her very confusing existence. But then, things suddenly change when someone from her past comes back.... And things turn dark FAST.

If I had read this as a series, this would have been one INCREDIBLE finale. Seriously, this book had me pulled in and glued to it (even if I was very confused on why certain things were happening). I do recommend reading the entire series in the correct order to get the full effect, but this book was GOOD. Honestly, I loved the unique ideas and drama that goes down. I'm thoroughly impressed and really think more people need to get their hands on this series. What a hidden gem!

Four out of five stars!

Awesome story with romance, action, and it kept me guessing the whole way through. I'm not a huge Sci-fi fan but I really enjoyed this book. For the full review visit Dark Faerie Tales: http://darkfaerietales.com/early-revi...

Ariane Tucker has finally escaped GTX, the research facility that created her. Now that she's on the run, Zane Bradshaw is the only person she can trust. He knows who-and what-she is and still wants to be part of her life. But accepting Zane's help means putting him in danger. Dr. Jacobs, head of GTX, is not the only one hunting for Ariane. Two rival corporations have their sights set on taking down their competition. Permanently. To protect Zane and herself, Ariane needs allies. She needs the other hybrids. The hybrids who are way more alien and a lot less human. Can Ariane win them over before they turn on her? Or will she be forced to choose sides, to decide who lives and who dies?

Project Paper Doll: The Hunt

1. Never trust anyone. 2. Remember they are always searching. 3. Don't get involved. 4. Keep your head down. 5. Don't fall in love. Five simple rules. Ariane Tucker has followed them since the night she escaped from the genetics lab where she was created, the result of combining human and extraterrestrial DNA. Ariane's survival-and that of her adoptive father-depends on her ability to blend in among the full-blooded humans, to hide in plain sight from those who seek to recover their lost (and expensive) "project." But when a cruel prank at school goes awry, it puts Adriane in the path of Zane Bradshaw, the police chief's son and someone who sees too much. Someone who really sees her. After years of trying to be invisible, Ariane finds the attention frightening-and utterly intoxicating. Suddenly, nothing is simple anymore, especially not the rules.
